“…Paralleling work on how women negotiated notions of educated womanhood more broadly (see Khoja‐Moolji 2018), young women were not becoming the passive dupes of urban lower middle‐class ideas of appropriate modern femininity.

“…Yet even so, while they did discuss feeling isolated and removed from major centres of business and commerce, and social and cultural opportunities, this was not the overarching way in which they made sense of living in Pauri Town.
